Logging Facade|Framework|AbstractionLayer
(facade-The word comes from the French language, literally meaning "frontage" or "face".)

Definition- Logging Facade
Logging Facade is a abstraction for various logging frameworks, e.g. java.util.logging, log4j and logback, allowing the end user to plug in the desired logging framework at deployment time.

Simple Logging Facade(SLF4J) is a abstract logging framework like JCL(jakarta-commons-logging). And JCL is also called as Apache Commons Logging
